Patent GB-191009763-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Hydraulic Air Compressors.
Inventor: DELSUC JEAN BAPTISTE EMILE
Filed: 1910-04-21
Granted: 1911-04-20
Abstract: 9763. Delsuc, J. B. E. April 21. Liquid-pressure engines. - In an apparatus adapted to be used as an ordinary water-tap or an hydraulically-actuated air-compressor, air is compressed by means of a piston l which is reciprocated by water under pressure alternately supplied to and discharged from the space m below the piston by means of a distributing- valve q', q<2>, u. The pressure water is admitted to the space m from a supply pipe b by way of a plug c, chamber d, and ports r communicating with a central channel in the distributing-valve. The water is discharged from the space m by way of the conical head q<1> of the distributing-valve, ports n, and chamber o (which communicates by passages, not shown, with the chamber p) into the tap outlet f. Water for domestic use is supplied to the outlet f by means of a second plug (not shown) similar to the plug c. The working cycle of the water under pressure is as follows: -Admission to the space m raises the piston l and, through a pull-rod j, a piston h, thereby compressing a spring i against the bottom u of the distributing-valve, and ultimately raising the valve bodily so as to close the admission ports r, press the portion q<2> of the valve against its seating m<1>, and open the space m to exhaust. The valve is held in its raised position by the pressure on the bottom u while the pistons descend together under the pressure on the piston h. The piston l ultimately compresses a spring s which lowers the distributing-valve bodily into its original position. The pull-rod j has to exert a tractive force only, and can therefore be made of small diameter. It is adjustably secured to the piston h. The bottom portion u of the distributing-valve is connected to the upper portion by an india-rubber sleeve so as to allow a little lateral play between these parts, and facilitate the movement of the pullrod without undue friction.

Abstract: 10,611. Stephens, R. H. April 29. Incandescent gas burners; vaporizing - apparatus; burners, mounting; oil supply. - Relates to standard lamps and stoves burning vaporized oil, and consists in (1) forming the vaporizer as a number of depending tubes placed in series and connected by chambers through which access to the tubes can be obtained for cleaning purposes; (2) mounting the complete burner in its support by means of the oil-inlet pipe at one side and a corresponding dummy arm at the other; (3) the use of starting-means comprising a spirit cup and funnel, the funnel being made to encircle the oil-inlet pipe; (4) means for forcing the liquid fuel from the reservoir to the vaporizer, comprising an air-pump placed centrally of the standard and operated by a cross-handle; and (5) the use of a combined valve and pressure gauge, the gauge being of known type and having a screw plug which is turned bodily to control the oil passage. The vaporizer consists of the depending tubes B, Fig. 1, which are V- or U-shaped and are placed as shown in Fig. 2. The last branch b<2> of the vaporizer leads to a central chamber C containing the nipple c<1>, the mouth of which is protected by gauze c<2>. Plugs b<1>, c are provided so that any part of the vaporizer can be reached for cleaning purposes. Air is led to the mixing-tube D through pipes F which open into the space between the casing G and chimney H. The mixing-tube D is constricted at e<1>, so as to cause more efficient mixing of the vapour and air. The spirit cup K is provided with a funnel k which directs the flame on to the oil - supply pipe A. A conical ring j fits the upper part of the casing G and carries a dome J. The oilsupply pipe A and a corresponding dummy pipe A<1> rest in slots in the chimney H, and are connected to the arms L, L<1> of the standard M, which is carried by the reservoir m. A band fixed on the upper end of the chimney may be used to secure the burner to the casing. The standard M is slotted vertically to receive the cross-handle n of the central pump N. The oil supply is controlled by the valve 0, which is a pressure gauge of known construction but adapted to turn as a valve.

Granted: 1911-06-01
Abstract: 19,807. Risch, I. T. von. Aug. 26, 1909, [Convention date]. Projectile fuses.-Relates to mechanical time fuses of the stationary air-vane type, and consists mainly in combining with a vane 15<a> a block 11, which steadies the spindle 15 during acceleration of the projectile within the gun. The block is adapted to slide rearwards on the spindle against the action of the spring 18, and is provided with a roller 11<a> which engages with the fixed wall 12 of the fuse in the setb a c k position during acceleration. Improvements in the timing- mechanism consist in the provision of two setting-rings 8, 9, providing a coarse and fine adjustment and oparating in the following manner. The vane 15<a> rotates the ring 30, Fig. 8, through the gearing 19, 22, 23, and thus indirectly, through the pin 32 and the Geneva-stop pinion 34, the ring 31, which moves at a much slower rate. These two rings carry radial shafts 38<a>, 38 provided at their outer ends with cams 40<a>, 40 and at their inner ends with cranks 39<a>, 39. The cam 40 slides along an internal rib on the setting - ring 8 until it meets after a certain time with a projection 42, Fig. 3, which adjoins a recess 43 in the rib and causes the shaft 38 to rotate. The crank 39 thereupon moves the grooved wheel 44 and the wheel 45 fixed thereto towards the point of the shell, thus causing partial rotation of the crank 39<a> and cam 40<a>, in consequence of which the cam 40<a> engages at a certain time during the next rotation of the wheel 30 with an abutment 54,' Fig. 2, on the wall of the setting-ring 9. The crank 30 thus receives a further rotation and now moves the wheels 45, 44 sufficient to raise the socket 48- clear of the balls 49, whereupon the spring 52 projects the hammer 51 and fires the shell. For impact firing, the ring 8 is so set that the inclined slot 63, Fig. 3, forces the pin 62 against the head of the pin 29. The latter is then not set back on discharge, and the pin 27 fails to connect the actuating-wheel 23 with the ring 30. The vane 15<a> and the hammer safety-mechanism are of the special form shown in Fig. 1.

Abstract: 8416. Spratt, C., and Shenton, F. J. April 4. Strength-testing apparatus.-The apparatus is adapted to register on a spring balance e, Fig. 2, the strength of a kick given to a football h, Fig. 3, which is connected by a cord or wire g to one end of the spring balance. A coin having been inserted, the index hand d and ratchet t, Fig. 6, are returned to zero by a spring u, and a detent is raised from the barrel j so as to free the football. When the ball is kicked, the cord g draws down a rack v<1>, which, through a pinion v, shaft w, and disk x, rotates the index d, the index being prevented from returning by the engagement of a spring-controlled pawl with the ratchet t. In order that the cord may be fairly slack when the ball is kicked, it is passed through a wire loop z wound on a spring drum j<1>. Coin action, weight.-The coin passing down the shoot f trips the pawl from engagement with the ratchet t, and then falls into the pan k, Fig. 5, of a coin lever l, tilting that lever so as to remove the arm m from a notch p in the drum j. Coin-discharging mechanism.-A projection en the drum j rocks the coin lever l, which has lateral play between bearings o, so as to discharge the coin.
